Intercept Project: The project is aiming to motivate, mobilise and support persons not in employment, education or training (NEETs) through a Green Career Pathway which will lead to 300 trained youths in green skills in three countries, of which 100 participants will be trained in Malta. The pilot scheme in Malta was launched in September 2022 and training developed for NEETs has been delivered to the first group of participants. As the greening of the economy will increase in importance, the scheme will boost the pipeline of specialised skills needed for the new green sectors, as well for modified roles in other key economic sectors.
